Concierge "If you plan to spend most of your time on the beach or playing at night...this property on the edge of Copa...is attractive for its access to restaurants and shopping."

Get a deluxe for the ocean view or risk a vista of a neighboring wall.
Lonely Planet "The beach-facing location is the real draw. The standard rooms are too dark and cramped, so it's not worth staying here unless you book one of the deluxe rooms with those unobstructed ocean views." Full review
Star Service "This midrange choice in the heart of Copacabana is a refreshing choice amidst a bevy of overpriced design hotels or poorly maintained cheaper hostelries." Full review

Frommer's "The only thing that keeps this Rio design hotel from getting three stars is its location just off the busy Avenida N.S. de Copacabana." Full review

DK Eyewitness "Copacabana’s only boutique hotel has a series of designer suites in a business-like, tall, narrow tower."
Rough Guide "One of the few hotels in Rio that dares to be a bit different. Each floor has been conceived by a different Brazilian designer, with some much more successful than others."
Lonely Planet "This stylish 13-story hotel demonstrates real design smarts."
